Activision's Impressive Tech Demo

Activision R&D Real-time Character Demo

PopRocks3594461d ago

Tracking's nice. Still got some uncanny valley going though. Let's hope we don't wind up seeing this for the next half decade.

GamersRulz4461d ago

isn't this the same character nVdia showed?

xPhearR3dx4461d ago

Except this is a crappier version of it, but yes. Same dialog and same emotions, not as good quality.

Rhythmattic4460d ago (Edited 4460d ago )

Neither has nothing on this !

(BTW.. Im off to see them in May at the opera house.. Ye Hah)

I know, bad teeth, and no tounge?
OTher than that HELL YEAH I want this graphics NOW

Solid_Malone4460d ago

yeah I think lip syncing is an issue on this, but then again, most games have that same issue.

I really hope they fix that, can't take game characters seriously when playing a game because it doesn't feel as engaging.

Good to see Activision putting in some effort. Still a long ways to go though... ;)

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville22d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer23d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.

Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.

fsfsxii120d ago

If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.

Gamingsince1981107d ago

It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.

thank goodness we dodged that landmine 😒
